Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to define a material that at a certain temperature (when I'm heating it) just tunrn into another one and than remains the same also when it get colder.

Both materials can be considered as Solid and the mesh can remain fixed.

Thanks!

Make your properties temperature dependent, as soon as they go over a certain temperature covered by a step function it takes over the new properties.
Make sure your step function is rather smooth to have a good calculation.
